[SOLVED] 1060 GDDR5 or 1060 GDDR5X

Hi, do you think it's worth buying a GDDR5X 1060 or it's better the GDDR5 version?

The 10Gbps GDDR5X is 10% faster than 9Gbps GDDR5, but it doesn't translate into 10% higher frame rates. Generally, the performance increase is between single digits and zero. (Here's a review with a bunch of game benchmarks)

I would offer that the $180 RX580 8GB is a better performing and cheaper option. However, both the RX580 and GTX1060 are 2+ year old GPUs at this point and are being replaced in the coming months/weeks.

Thats correct, get a RX580, besides being faster you get a better deal.
